Mayweather claimed earlier this week that he did not believe McGregor was knocked out during a sparring session.

Mayweather also confirmed that he is in contact with Jessie Vargas saying:“My thing is basically like this, if I ain’t seen no footage, I don’t believe it,” Mayweather told Fight Hype . “And me and Jessie Vargas are in communication.

“We’ve been talking about working with him, signing him back for Mayweather promotions. We’ve been communicating, but everything is just rumors until I see it. I have to visually see it with my own eyes.”

The rumours have since been quashed as McGregor's team speaking to Telegraph Sport have said that neither party have sparred together.
